The exhibition, which opens its doors on February 19 at seven in the evening, aims to emphasize one of humanity's oldest craft techniques, with roots dating back millennia.
The exhibition is the result of extensive research led jointly by the University of Alcalá de Henares and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). This interdisciplinary investigation has allowed for a deeper study of the technical tradition of basketry.
Basketry is a key technology in prehistoric daily life, often invisible in the archaeological record but essential for the development of human societies.
The project analyzed a large set of sites corresponding to the Neolithic period, providing new data on the use, function, and importance of this practice in the first agricultural communities.
Visitors to the Badalona Museum will be able to learn about this history through original archaeological materials, detailed recreations, and various interpretive resources.
